1 tn Heb “I have placed before you the land.”
2 tn Heb “the Lord.” Since the Lord is speaking, it is preferable for clarity to supply the first person pronoun in the translation.
3 tn Heb “swore” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). This refers to God’s promise, made by solemn oath, to give the patriarchs the land.
4 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 11, 21, 35).
5 tn Heb “their seed after them.”
6 tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.
7 sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).
8 tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.
9 tn Heb “would be a prey.”
10 sn Do not know good from bad. This is a figure of speech called a merism (suggesting a whole by referring to its extreme opposites). Other examples are the tree of “the knowledge of good and evil” (Gen 2:9), the boy who knows enough “to reject the wrong and choose the right” (Isa 7:16; 8:4), and those who “cannot tell their right hand from their left” (Jonah 4:11). A young child is characterized by lack of knowledge.
11 tn Heb “was left to him.” The final phrase “to him” is redundant in English and has been left untranslated.
12 tn Heb “stiff-necked” (so KJV, NAB, NIV).
sn The Hebrew word translated stubborn means “stiff-necked.” The image is that of a draft animal that is unsubmissive to the rein or yoke and refuses to bend its neck to draw the load. This is an apt description of OT Israel (Exod 32:9; 33:3, 5; 34:9; Deut 9:13).
13 tn Heb “like the days of the heavens upon the earth,” that is, forever.
14 tn Heb “judgment”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “the priest’s due.”
15 tn The antecedent of the relative pronoun is “cities.”
16 tn Heb “any breath.”
17 tn Heb “nakedness of a thing.” The Hebrew phrase עֶרְוַת דָּבָר (’ervat davar) refers here to some gross sexual impropriety (see note on “indecent” in Deut 23:14). Though the term usually has to do only with indecent exposure of the genitals, it can also include such behavior as adultery (cf. Lev 18:6-18; 20:11, 17, 20-21; Ezek 22:10; 23:29; Hos 2:10).
18 tn Or “just”; Heb “righteous.”
19 tc For the MT reading “your God,” certain LXX mss have “my God,” a contextually superior rendition followed by some English versions (e.g., NAB, NASB, TEV). Perhaps the text reflects dittography of the kaf (כ) at the end of the word with the following preposition כִּי (ki).
20 tc The Syriac adds “your God” to complete the usual formula.
21 tn Heb “swore on oath.”
22 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 7, 15).
23 tn Heb “the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “will give you a lot of children.”
24 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.
25 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 36, 64).
26 tn Verses 39-42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.
27 tn Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).
28 tn Heb “seed” (so KJV, ASV).
29 tn The Hebrew text includes “with your eyes,” but this is redundant in English and is left untranslated.
